Re: Install of the Year!
Yes, because no pro would ever dare!
Were they using copper on steam 37 years ago ? I thought that was a relatively new thing with less Pros in the field..
Re: Triangle Tube Prestige 110 noise
Fan, venturi or both. Find good Triangle tube boiler mechanic in your area. Make sure boiler combustion chamber and tubes are cleaned out while at it otherwise you will ruin what you have already done. Just fyi, boiler is at or near end of life. 15 yrs is pretty close to their lifespan. So could be putting good money before bad. ( could be opposite, phrase always messes with my head).
Re: Install of the Year!
Like @Mad Dog_2 said if they knew any better, they wouldn't have put their name on it. They were proud of it.
Re: Extension radiators don't get as hot as the rest of the building
Is there any banging in the extension radiators? You might want to speed up the venting on the mains and slow down the venting on the radiators in the non extension part of the house
Re: Boiler can't keep up
Interesting way to install a strainer. With the drain on the top. I thought that water drained down in the northern hemisphere and it drained up in the souther hemisphere. 
Is your plumber from Australia?
Makes me wonder if your installer understands basic law of gravity?!? Hope his boss designed the overall system.

Re: Can you use type M copper pipe?
It's a pretty significant price difference, close to 30%.
For a couple lengths you'll stick to L then when you start getting into larger quantities you want to check code book. Usually how it goes...

Interesting thermometer
I've got this thermometer here that I can see from my bed and it's really handy once you learn how to read it.
So if the cat is on the section next to the pipe it's in the 50s out.
Slightly over and it's 40s.
Her current position in this picture is low 30s.
Teens and she's far over to the vent side.
Single digits and she's on the floor by the radiator.
Below zero and she's on the floor about a foot away.
It's like one of those weather clocks with the little people only it's a real radiator and a real cat.

Re: Thermostat not compatible
Please--Don't tell @pecmsg it's a Nest. he'll go apoplectic.
A thermostat is just a switch. Just like every other thermostat. It's the charging circuit that gives everyone conniption fits. Other than Google spying on everyone, "How do you like them apples?"
